    Oh yeah, I remember now. We had a trivia question on that. Panama is to blame for all of England's rain by diverting the Gulf Stream, or something like that.

    Damn this is tougher than I thought, probably not of these are right.
    Actually the only one that's wrong is the Baltic. Good job man.
    OK, I'm gonna take a stab at this and say The Antarctic Ocean, even though something tells me there is no such thing.

    OK, while we're waiting for that 7th Sea, here's a toughie...

    What are/were the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?

    Hint: All were manmade, only one still stands today.

    Great Wall of China.

    oops, you wanted them all...no idea. That`s the only one standing tho I believe...

    The Hanging Gardens of Babylon is another?
    The Pyramids of Egypt?
    Ancient Mayan Ruins?

    wait...those last 2 are still standing so are probably wrong.

    I would have guessed that, but no the Great Wall of China is not one of the Wonders of the Ancient World, it is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. A different and separate list. Go for that list if you want.

    Anyways, welcome to the game. Keep trying, and come up with your own questions if you want.

    The Hanging Gardens of Babylon is one of them. I'll also accept the Pyramids of Egypt, although technically, it is one specific pyramid that is on the list. No to Mayan Ruins

    I`d guess the one that looks like a lion, with a pharoahs head. Can`t remember its name and don`t want to google cheat it. Yea...I kinda realized the Great Wall was wrong after I thought about it. Shooting from the hip here. I have both history and geo this term...so will likely join in more and tnx for the welcome.

    The seventh "Sea" was the Gulf of Mexico.

    p.s. I was surprised to learn that Indonesia is the 4th most populous country in the world.
    120?
    Actually, I checked on a couple of different websites, and the answer is 17,508. Yep. It caught me by surprise. I imagine some of them might be kind of small.
    And the arseholes want Australia for their 17,509 th .

    I was gonna say Gulf of Mexico, but ruled it out.

    Anyways, your 5 picks for ancient wonders are all correct. Well Done Killersheep

    The story of the Alexandria Lighthouse is particularly interesting. Built around 300 BC, it was the tallest man-made structure in the world for many centuries, at over 115 metres. Eventually it was destroyed by earthquake.

    Two more ancient wonders to go.
